Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (2015) running Catalina OS laptop which only has one HDMI port and two Thunderbolt 2 ports. I want to connect two Dell monitors to the laptop. I can use the HDMI port to connect one monitor, my question is what is the best way to connect the second monitor?


Does Apple still sell Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI adapters?


Or do I have to daisy-chain using a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter and a Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI adapter (will that even work and if so, what OS do I need)?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hi,

You can get Mini Display port to HDMI adapter from Apple which supports 4K monitor as well as sound, also you can get third party one at Amazon as well.
